Step cooking
- We thoroughly rinse the beef liver under running water and clean it of films and extra veins. Cut the cleaned liver into small pieces (approximately 2 cm wide). It is advisable to make all the pieces the same size, then they will cook evenly and will look better on a plate.
- Pour 200 grams of white wheat flour into a small plate. Bone each piece of liver in flour and put it on a cutting board. Slices should be covered with a light layer of flour, which will give them a thin crust. Do not roll the liver in flour liberally, otherwise it will fall off and burn during frying.

Then remove the liver from the milk, dry it thoroughly with paper towels, and cook according to the recipe.
- The special softness of the liver can be achieved in another way - by beating off a kitchen hammer. At the same time, you need to beat it off very carefully and very easily so as not to damage the delicate texture. In addition, after such manipulations it will be much easier to separate the film.
- Try adding a small amount of fresh or dried basil and rosemary to the liver during stewing. It is these spicy herbs that are best suited to such a product, they will make its taste more piquant and soft.
